6sLUMMINGu IN LONDON.
About the "Jo1Iiest'' Dissipation Known
to the Fashionable World.

About the "Jo1liest' Dissipation Known
to the Fashionable World.
''There is one English fashion which the
Anglo-maniacs have not yet succeeded in in
PRODUCING in New York" said the European
buyer of large silk house a few days ago,
sand that is Summing. In London, visiting
the sluns is believed to be about the jolliest
and most fetching dissipation known to the
world. The subject has been the butt Of the
comic weekly artists Of London for some
months now, and no well-regulated member
of society can afford to miss Summing
party during the season.
"They do it up in great shape over there,
you know. An Englishman must dress for
every expedition, no matter whether it is a
trip to Africa or a walk to the corner. In
stunning women run to cloaks and men to
long coats. These outer garments are be-
Geved to ward off disease though exactly how
they do it when the wearerS breathe the foul
air of the slrmS is difficult to imagine. When
they return TO the house of their hostess or
chaperone the young people all throw Off
these wraps in the passage, and the wraps are
aired by the servants and returned by mes
se'&[er the following day. A supper, more or
less elaborate, follows the 'slun, as the excite
ment makes all hands hungry and laxative.
There are always two policemen with the
party, and, as rule, not more than five or
six people go along. London tramps are LA
bic to prove sUrly and ill-tempered when
their homes are invaded
''Ihe party starts from the hostess house in
carriages at II o'clock or perhaps midnight,
although that is pretty late, and drive to the
heart of the London slulns. Here they
wander through the quarters of the poor, the
Outcast and the lost ones of the great town,
pushing their way into rooms where drunken
louis, repulsiye women and scraggy and I'M
kempt children lie sleeping like so many
worms in bait box They go everywhere,
for the police do not recognize the rights of
any of the paupers, and bang their way ruth
lessly ahead. The high born men end women
gaze upon their dirty fellow creatures visit
their opium dens, their drinking places, dance
halls-Or, rather, cellars-and invade their
living rooms. When they've had all their
stOmachs and eyes will stand they return to
their supper 1t never occurs to them. of
course, that the cost of one such meal as they
discuss would lift a mountain of misery and
from the backs Of the poor they have
just visited. Philanthropy is not a proper
fad now across the water
as there no Summing in New York;"
ooh, occasionally parties of men send down
to police headquarters and secure the services
of detective for a trip through Baxter, Null
berry and Mott streets; but Summing is not
recognized as a fashionable amusement"

Mr.. ConkIfng and His Practice.

Mr. Conkling pays no attention to politics.
He rarely colverses on political topics with
even his most intimate friends. His thoughts
are concentrated ON the practice of his pro-
fession, and he is rapidly accommodating a
fortune. He is the pink of neatness, but he
is neither expensive nor extravaganza IN his
tastes and habits. / never saw him in cab,
and have seen him only once in horse car
He usually walks to his office and from there
to the court room. Not long ago saw him
rush into a beer saloon, drink foamlng lager,
tt was to save time, not money A fortune
secured, he may, like Gen, Gordon, of
Georgia, re-enter the political lists and make
New York politics more lively than it has
been made since the days of Sllas Wright

An 1nterview with John ,rorrissev.

George Alfred Townsend once told me how
he succeeded in obtaining from Morrissey a
sketch of his life, which the latter declared
was the best ever published One evening
Townsend visited the club and engaged Mr.
Morrissey in general conversation. After a
few minutes in the house stroll was taken
in the grounds and the gentlemen seated
themselves in a summer house lighted by
single gas jet. Little by little the events in
the life of the ex-pughist and ex-congress-
man were skillfully drawn out, and, unob-
served by him, dates. etc, were noted by the
interviewer on his cuffs A short time after,
aided by his wonderful memory, Mr.. Town
send wove together sketch that was pub
Hshed in western paper, and Mr.. Morrissey
pronounced it correct and the smartest trick
ever played on him by newspaper man.

HY M EMAIL.

Cupid has not been spending the past
season in vain in this city and the result
of the little gods thorough work was
shown Tuesday morning at the Ger.
man Catholic church where two interest.
ing weddings were solemnized. Al
seven O'Clock Mr.. Jacob j. Schaus and
Miss Catherine A. Arnold were united
in marriage in the presence of numer-
GUS friends. Just an hour later Mr..
John Lorenz and Miss Anna M. Maho-
valid were similarly joined.
All of the parties are residents OF
Mankato and are well known. Mr..
Lorenz is the son of Frank LoreDz and
IS a blacksmith by trade. His happy
bride Is the daughter of Mr.. John Ma
howald, the contractor. The young cou-
pie will take up their abode in Dakota.
Mr.. Schaus is an employee of the G. &
n. w. road, while his bride is the
daughter of Mr.. John A. Arnold. They
will make Mankato their home.
In the evening the homes of the parents
of the brides were the scenes of Joyous
festivity. Numerous invited guests par
took of bounteous suppers and later in
the evening dancing was INDUCED in.
The Second Regiment Band appeared
on the scene and rendered number of
fine pieces of music at each place.
Everything passed off happily and the
occasions will long be remembered
by those present. The young people
were the recipients of innumerable good
wishes.

Miss Herman who was obliged to resign
on account of i'll health.
Messrs. Stockley, Warren, Hoerger

association here to attend the conven-
ton of the Y. M. c. A. held in that city
the present week.
Wednesday morning very interest
ing paper was read before the school on
the subject, Newspapers" by Miss
Hern. She forcibly advised the reading
of newspapers for the great amount of
needful information and practical knowl-
edge to be gained bv it. A broad smile
was seen on the audience when quaint
anecdote was told about a college gradu-
ate who was so severely lacking in ln-
formation to be found in the press that
he made the very ludicrous statement
that he thought the ice palace in st.
Paul last winter was made of-not ice,
but substance In imitation of ice. To
avoid committing oneself in SO dreadful
manner as this college student, Miss
Hern suggested the careful reading of at
least one good paper.
Another essay was presented this
morning of great merit by Miss Webster,
on the Hanging Gardens" 1t is al
ways well to be reminded of the mighty
and wonderful works of the ancients.
Many of these works are of such stu
pendous character that we with all our
modern engineering skill are baffled in
initiating.

Another New Mandatory Soon to be in
Operation.
Something Which Has Long Been
Needed and Which VIII Prove
of Great Convenience to
Business Men.
A Blank Book Mandatory.

The business men and in fact those of
the entire Southwestern portion of Min
nesota, have for years been more or less
bothered in securing blank books on
short notice. No first-class mandatory
could be reached short ofa hundred or
more miles, and an order sent in invaria-
bly, met with delay and after the book was
received it was more likely to be just what
was not ordered than otherwise. Then
again, if job was wanted little out Of
the stereotype line of ruling, it had to
be sent away from home and here an
other tedious delay. AS a rule, bust
ness men want work on very short no.
tice, something that no establishment in
this city has been able to comply with
so promptly as the FREE PRESS. DAILY
more and more the needs of first
class bindery and blank book manufac-
tory have impressed the manager of the
FREE Press until last week he purchased
an entire outfit ofthe very latest machin-
cry and the same is expected here with
in a few days.
This Office will be prepared to turn
out any class of work and in just as good
style rs can be had in st. Paul or any
other city. and at the lowest possible
figure consistent with No. l work.
Among the other machinery Is the latest
improved HickoX ruler, with steam
fixtures and striker" Any class of
special ruled work will be done prompt
lv, and so also will all class of blank
books-with or without printed heads
binding, and IN fact every
thing in this line.
Large additions have been made to
the Job department of the FREE PRESS
with special view to be able to accom- |
modate all who may desire first class
of whatever kind, and when we
say that there is not an Office in the
state better prepared to do commercial
than the FREE Press we assert
hat which can be verified 10 the salts
faction of any one who may favor us
with work.
When our binder is in operation,
bring in your work and aid much !
needed industry. If you want good job
work come and see us any time.

Maj. Allen. of the government SER
vice, has completed his survey of the
Minnesota river from its mouth to Man
kato. He is now writing his report,
which is to be presented to Congress.
1t looks as if large amount would be
appropriated for the improvement of
this river. The advantages to be de-
rived from this work are incalculable to
Mankato. The completion will reduce
freight rates to the minimum, no doubt.
A prominent pork buyer referring
to the large quantities of live hogs being
marketed at present said that his advice
to farmers was to hold their hogs for
month or more and sell them dressed.
He said that the figures live hogs are
now bringing are not proportionate to
the price of mess pork. 1t is his opin-
ion that the farmer who holds his pork
month longer will more than get 80
cents bushel for the corn it takes to
keep the hogs the extra time.
The new 1000 mile ticket for $40

The NJ. d st. l.. has just made
special tariff on cotton piece goods, Chi
cago to Mankato, of 80 cents per hun
dred pounds. This is a reduction that
will be very acceptable to our dry goods
men.
The great secret for preventing de-
cay i'm fruit through autumn and winter,
says an agricultural journal, is to pre-
serve uniformly low temperature. If
changing and fiuctuating, they quickly
rot. Currents of air are bad, because
they make changes in temperature. We
find that apples keep longer in Winter
by wrapping each specimen in tissue
paper and thus excluding the air. Hence
the advantage of packing in any soft.
powdered substance, as dry sawdust,
bran, ground plaster, or bedding in
moss. On a large scale this cannot be
done, and large fruit rooms must there
fore be kept cool without changes of
air. Much may be accomplished by
ventilating windows, admitting cold air
at night and excluding warm air in the
day time by closing them. These re-
marks apply more particularly to APP
Piles and pears and also to grapes. They
would also apply to small and perish
able fruits, if 1t were an object to keep
them, but the common practice is to
consume them while fresh.

Why Laura Lost Her Beau.
Laura once had an affiuent beau,
Who called twice fortnight or so.
Now she sits, Sunday eve,

9
oh, where is her recreant beau,
And why did he leave Laura so?
Why, he saw that Laura was a Ian
gushing, delicate girl, subject to sick
headaches, sensitive nerves and uncer-
tain tempers; and knowing what a life
long trial is fretful, sickly wife, he
transferred his attentions 10 her cheer
full, healthy cousin, Ellen. The secret
IS that Laura's health and strength are
sapped by chrome weakness. peculiar to
her sex, which Ellen averts and avoids
by the use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. This is the only remedy, for
woman's peculiar weaknesses and all
ments, sold by druggists, under posi-
tive guarantee from the manufacturers,
that it will give satisfaction in every case
or money will be refunded. See guar
